Taxpayers provide $55,14S of the $146,184,,the remainder be- . ing provided by the provincial government grant and winter works, totalling $30,160 and $1;458 taxation on federal properties, B.C. Telephones and 'B.C. Hydro and the $59,452 required by the school-board for school purposes. Money required from the municipal; sun>lus in order to balance the municipal budget will total $4,119. On the expenditure side $63,- 207 is on demand from the school board and the hospital tax levy. The remainder, some $82,077 covers , expenditure for village purposes. There is a separate budget for water services which will have a revenue totalling $23,256 of which $18,500 comes from the saie of water to consumers. It is expected there will be a slight surplus from water operations over the year totalling about $250. ' . In connection with water it was announced in council that the Public Utilities committee will hold a; public meeting at 10:45 a.m. in Gibsons Municipal hall on Monday, May 16 concerning the Norman Procknow application for .water to service Sunnycrest Motel.- As regards the flow of water reached at the well being drilled at Gower Point and Winn Roads council is being cautious, awaiting a proper test over a three Week period before it makes np its mind on the availability of water on a long term basis. Drilling ? continued to about the 150 foot level, stopped there then' reverted tb about the 65 foot level in a gravel bed which showed signs of bearing water. It.was hoped by going lower another gravel strata with water would have been, reached but this, was not the case. OAPO hear president Mr. Vincent Yates, provincial president of the OAPO and Mrs. Yates, lunched with the executive of Branch 96 at the Harry Hill home, Selma Park. A meeting which followed in Wilson Creek Hall/was attended by more. than 50 members of Gibsons land Sechelt branches. Mr.'Yates spoke on the work by the organization for the betterment of its elder citizens. In striving for a minimum old age security pension of $100, Mr. Yates said the older people have ' earned the privilege of all that is being sought for them. They built hospitals, schools and roads ��� and paid their /own way as well. Now that this country is enjoying prosperity he felt these old people who helped to build it should be taken care of. He said his organization was political, but non-partisan; it would give bouquets where they were earned and would throw rocks where deserved. He urged all pensioners to forget political affiliations and vote for a party that would give them $100 a month. Mr. Yates told of his visit to Toronto rat ~ the Conference on Ageing, where he worked with a study group composed of people of all ages. The findings of this committee indicated that $140 a month was the lowest income to give an individual a reasonable standard of. living. The efforts of Mr. Yates and his council have also been directed towards more chronic hospitals and exemption from the school tax for people who have' done their share of building and supporting schools. One of the great disappointments, said Mr. Yates, was the failure of the negotiations to amalga mate with the Senior Citizens organization. In moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Yates Mr. L. P. Hansen assured Mr. Yates that there would always be a warm welcome for him at Branch 96 even when he was no longer the provincial president. There are still seats available to the Cloverdale Rodeo on May 21 and members interested should advise Mrs. A. M. Batchelor immediately ed by the voters who were main-, ly womert. It was necessary for', members in the hall to go out-^ side and round up more people' before a meeting could be eld> A quorum is 35 and the meet--, ing managed' to open with ��� 35- present.y ' - 'y|. The : administrator's report^, presented :���' by Norman Huckleyp revealed it'had b'een a year-og: rontinual adjustment for tluj|. hospital staff due to the high}? 3<'\el of occupancy and the busy1 out patient work. There were J ,."72 admissions plus ,113 birth c.ises making a total of 1440; IMtient days totalled 10,329 and foi births 586 taking 100.9 per- ivnt of hospital capacity. Out- putients numbered 1,838 and ilK>rt~stay patients (emergency) * J��<- 7 Average number of patients , per month in the hospital numbered 311 including 9 newborn. Operational costs have been a source of much thought and, it was felt that the 1965 budget was too low. Steps have been taken to reduce operating costs. The nursing staff is adequate and the lay staff is becoming, more experienced.

This submission will be found complete on Page 8 of this issue. Having read the submission Mr. Sauve explained how the new RDA would work'and how it could be applied to the Sunshine Coast area if the situation warranted government aid. ��� Mr. Sauve explained that he was aware of what has been going on in this area through association with Jack Davis, the MP for this area. Outlining the basis.for the operation of RDA he said that most of the people in rural areas were not farmers and helping farmers solely in an effort to improve rural conditions was not the com- (Continued on Page 5) QUARTET TO SING The Choraliers a visiting male quartet which travels more than 15,000 miles a year to sing in churches of many denominations will be heard Friday April 29 in Elphinstone school auditorium under sponsorship of the Sunshine Coast Ministerial association. It will start at 8 p.m. Boys and girls of the Rutland Band and Madrigal Singers with their young director Lloyd Bur-. ritt have prepared an unusual concert for. Saturday. .������-,-' Following engagements at Abbotsford and Windermere, school in Vancouver the Rutland Band sponsored here by the Gibsons United Church choir will play in Elphinstone auditorium, Saturday, at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are available from choir 'members.: 7 In his work at Rutland High School, Lloyd has endeavoured to make music an integral part of student life and to relate it to their other studies. At last year's concert the music was related by means of -pictures and introduction to v; the historical period to which it belonged, adding knowledge to listening pleasure. This year; Lloyd and his students go a step further and combine two art forms,7 music and pictures. The District school board budget will result in a two mill tax raise for this year with district cost ���: of the budget totalling 80.55 percent or $1,077,966 and government grants 19.45 percent or $260,251: The two mill increase will actually affect few people because under the home owner grant the greater bulk of school board requiremnets would be covered by the $10 increase in the annual grant. The total mill rate for school purposes will be 25.65, two mills higher than last year. The total budget is $1,318,721 an increase of $291,233 over last year. An increased government grant totalling $260,251, more than double last year, has kept the mill rate increase down to two mills. Gibsons percentage of local cost will be 5.52 against 5.47 last year; Sechelt 3.19 against 3.50 last year and, the rural percentage 91.29 against 91.03 last year. These percentages are based on assessments which total $2,318,488 for Gibsons, $1,- 338,269 for Sechelt and $38,368,- 657 for the rural area. The provincial average mill rate was 25.37 last year and for this year it is 26.47 which is slightly higher than the school rate for this district. At Monday night's meeting of the school board after budget affairs were completed Principal George Cooper of Gibsons Elementary school presented a projected attendance figure for the school term starting in September. He was certain there would be 485 pupils yet felt that it would be safer to work on the basis of a 500 figure. He knew there would be more entering school at the lower grade end than there would be leaving it at grade seven. Today's elementary enrollment is 480. Discussion which followed was based on whether there should be large grade one classes with a librarian for the entire school or whether the librarian should be dropped and smaller grade one classes be set up using another grade one teacher.

Sechelt's village clerk Ted Raynor at last Wednesday's meeting of council informed councillors that it appeared likely the mill rate for Sechelt this year would not go beyond ten mills. Sechelt mill rate has been steady at 10 mills for many years. ^Councilor Louis Hansen was chairman. The clerk explained that total revenue would be $28,293 and expenditure $28,325 with the difference between those . two figures being supplied from the municipal surplus. Councillor Joseph Benner moved that the only contract council had received, from the J. II. Nelson company, Selma Park, be accepted to construct a booth and comfort station building at Hacket Park at a cost of $4,300. Four contractors were approached to submit tenders but only one did. Councillor Ben Lang offered advice that the plans should be sub- nutted to provincial health officials to get their OK During budget discussion Councillor Ray Clarke held out for more money to be spent on Hackett Park. He was informed that money not used in other departments could be switched to the park A complaint by Councillor Clarke that Mr. L. E. Hall was running his taxi business from his home as well as. from his taxi office resulted in council maintaining there was nothing it could dp as there was no law against parking a taxi in front of one's home. Mr. Hall will be informed by letter of the complaint. FAMILY LECTURES The lectures arranged by the Gibsons PTA for mothers, daughters, fathers and sons will take place in the lecture room at the Public Health office, Fletcher Road, Wed., April 27. Dr. Cunningham of the Coast- Garibaldi Health Unit will speak to mothers and daughters at 6:30 p.m. and to fathers and sons at 8 p.m. The band will provide the accompaniment to a film run without the soundtrack. While the band plays music which dates from the - Renaissance/ period the audience will be able to watch the National F i 1 m Board's, beautiful color.film of Venice, City out of Time. One of these pieces, Gabreili's Chorale St. Mark's, "owes it inspiration to Venice. Later in "the program Dillon's ���The Far .Country will be teamed with another N.F.B. color ;film, -The Edge of'theiBarrens, following thei,'icari-H>\L emigrations in the "Canadian arctic. The Madrigal Singers, 12 students in four part- harmony, will add further contrast to the program, including excerpts from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, the Mikado and H.M.S. Pinafore which have been staged at Rutland as part of the school music program. Two of the band soloists will be remembered from last year, tympanist Maurleen McCarthy and trumpeter Bruce Stevens, both 17 year olds. Lloyd is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Burritt of Gower Point, and graduated from Elphinstone in 1958. He studied music at UBC and was awarded a Canada Council scholarshhip to continue his studies in London, England.- For the past two years he has been teaching at Rutland and last summer won a scholarship to the famous summer school of the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood, Mass.

Unify in the Community gets things done The dice were loaded The furore over a TV program dealing with seven days crammed into an hour, which is somewhat of an exaggeration, has as its chief argument the perennial item known as freedom of speech. This same freedom is sought by children of all ages sometimes with dire results which invariably gives them some insight as to the meaning of expressions containing the word freedom. The program has reached its greatest height in that it has become involved in a battle with the CBC pbwers-that-be and with parliament which is tagging along somewhat innocuously hoping it can stay out of trouble. This Hour will never have such a large audience in the future. . . . It is a program which has always kept to the front the kinfd of question which lawyers describe as the have you stopped beating your wife type. The writer has watched the interviewers in their labors and has been keenly aware of the barbs that were obvious in the con- ���struction of the question asked. Take the Gouzenko interview. The interviewers wanted him to say certain things and he was obvious in his avoidance in answering to their liking. The question which should be answered by someone concerns whether freedom of speech goes as far as to allow one side to use loaded dice.

Harris A Toronto newspaper reports that because of the present labor shortage 44 trained and untrained girls are being brought to the city from England to work ori switchboards in the local Bell Telephone Company offices. There seems to be quite an expense involved ��� advertisements in British newspapers, interviews in Loh-.-��� don, and the refund of transportation costs if a girl stays on the job for. a.year. But the company sees no hope of obtaining the needed employees from the Canadian labor supply. In Toronto alone this year, a Bell official told the newspaper, "there will be 47,000 job openings and only about 6,000 trained and untrained employable females over 16 looking for work." In the same vein it is reported that Ontario tobacco growers, anticipating a dearth of casual labor next summer, will bring university. students from Europe for this year's harvest. Arrangements have been made for 340 students to come from Belgium, and representatives of tobacco,: farmers are hoping to bring others from Great Britain, West Germany and Portugal ��� 1,250 in all. It is expected that out of seven weeks' work a student will be able to pay travelling expenses and take home about $400. Taking a look, at those news reports one question that comes to mind is, what has happened to automation? Business and industry has been pressing bft with the process, of course, but where is the mass unemployment that computers and associated technology advances were to spawn? Labor force statistics, though perhaps not as interesting, as - news stories about telephone girls and tobacco workers being flown in from Europe, are convincing evidence that employment has been a continuing, sharp upward curve. In January bf this year there were 6,734,000 Canadians with jobs, an increase of 273^000 over one year before. In the five-year 1960-65 period employment increased by more than 900,000. For all practical purposes the country has now reached a condition of full employment. However, despite the evidence that jobs have multiplied even as automation has accelerated, there will still be plenty of alarmists left to tell us that the machine is soon going to put us all on the shelf. Minute message IDEALS AND IDOLS A psychologist has written about what he calls the I-F-D sequence in life ��� from Idealism to Frustration to Demoralization. That, he says, is the almost inevitable sequence of moods for tne person who accepts high ideals and principles but fails to test and express them in his everyday life. It is quite true the program has had some good shows during its career and on the other hand it has also had some rather crude items. It is also true that there has been a rather longish dispute within the CBC on internal ethics of the program staff It could be that there is much to be said on both sides. However for any newspaper or other organization1 to give any member of its staff complete freedom of speech as that individual interprets freedom is not to be considered. Freedom is not a cheap item This situation recalls to mind an expression uttered by some bright person winch most certainly applies to present day affaTs Th* expression argued that when people contend for their liberty I �� _ J"l__ they seldom get anything by their victory but new masters Ad I PffPK IH PflllOr ding further to the editorial discussion wouW be fr^itSss LCIIC1 J- IU CUIIUI One cigaret per meeting? h��m!-T ?rrivf *��me from a meeting ^nd have someone in your home explain that you smell like a stale cigar even though you did not smoke during the meeting? It has happened to quite a number of people and the smell from your clothes meant your meeting was held in a poorly ventilated place or one with no ventilation at all. While no one in this area has challenged smokers at meetings it is quite possible, with the battle still being waged against cigarets, that it could occur any time. It leaves one with a feeling of sympathy to read of a town councillor in Kindersley, Sask., who moved apparently in a smoke-filled municipal hall council chamber, that councillors be limited to.one cigaret per meeting. On vote being taken the mover of the motion was the only one who voted in favor. Before the vote he suggested that even if it costs money council should be given a little comfort during deliberations. His reference was to periodic suggestions for a ventilation unit for council chambers. ��� People in the position of having to attend numerous council, school board, executive or other type of organization meetings must have pondered on this problem (themselves. The editor of the Coast News, as his contribution towards not polluting the meeting room has left his pipe and tobacco at home. He has lived through it successfully and recommends the practice to all who would care to try it. ADVERTISERS, PLEASE NOTE .... .... Taking the time to reach small town weeklies is worth the effort according to a man who is reported by a daily paper to be one of the best political executive assistants in Canada. He is Clare Westcott, a member of the staff of Ontario's minister of education. "Get to the weeklies and you get to the province. Their readers remember what they have read." ��� The Printed Word. Editor: In' your issue of March 31 you mention a letter that I wrote the Gibsons Chamber of Commerce about the unfairness of holding the magistrates court on Wednesday and Fridays so that 'working employees or even self-employed must lose wages in order to attend Court. r I have a concrete instance of just what this means. It was a case called for a Friday morning, adjourned when the accused pleaded not guilty thereby making it necessary for a second trip to court. The actual loss in wages or earnings was just Over $200. The report in your paper ends with the following "Saturday Court Sessions did not suit a good many people in the past, the RCMP said." I think that statement is very much. open to question, it would be. very interesting to know who the "good many people" are,' they certainly are not wage earners who lose out by having to attend a sitting of the court during working hours. ��� B. L. Cope, retired stipendiary magistrate. Dr. J. A.Hadfield, an eminent London psychiatrist, said this in one of his books: "Idealism is often merely a flattering name for indolence." We modern Christians do tend to take our\ideals for granted ��� and in that is a root cause of much of the spiritual indolence of our ; time. Many of us have become religious loafers. Jesus underscored this tendency in the parable with which he concluded the Sermon on the Mount; the parable about the two men who built houses. The ; first man built his house on shifting sand, and when the storms came it collapsed. Jesus likened that man to those who accept faith's principles but do not implement them in everyday life. But the man who accepts faith's teaching and does it, Jesus likened to the man who builds on solid rock: his house can withstand the fiercest storms. The point here is this: faith and its commitments have no reality until they motivate and determine conduct. By themselves they may be dangerous, for they can give rise to a false sense of moral security. Ideals which are not woven into the total fabric of one's life are mere idols, and lead inevitably to frustration and demoralization.

Respect helps There are many means of dwelling pleasantly in the woods with bears, the camper should remember ��� respect bears and respect their right to thrive in their native haunts. Feed them nothing, nor tempt them to approach with fake offerings, such as an outstretched hand. ' Treat litter and garbage as though it were poison. Get rid of it promptly and properly. Keep food well covered and, if possible, sealed. Never or at least rarely cook in a tent. Identify yourself by sound and motion. .Give the bear, a chance to escape or room to' pass. Remain upwind. Be extra cautious about encounters in Autumn and in berry patches. And ��� lest these vwarnings serve to exaggerate fear���,��� relax. One man's chance of being rmauled by a bear is exceedingly slim.

EVERY CHILD SHOULD HAVE GOOD TEETH It is a mistaken notion that "Baby" teeth do not need care just because the body replaces them with "permanent" teeth. Imperfect "Baby" teeth often cause many later-life dental problems. Every child should be taken to a dentist at about two and a half years to three years of age. By then all the "Baby" teeth will be in. The dentist will check for minute signs of decay, or any malformations which can cause later troubles. Dental'patients under four years old have an average of three teeth that need fillings.

He defeated Michael Boulger of Bella Coola and Donald Spragge of Texada Island for the n.omina- tion. ���"���'������ The nomination was conducted by mail ballot from all parts of the riding. Tony Gargrave, 39, was first elected to' the legislature in 1952. In addressing the meeting, after he had been nominated, Gargrave said his future pro: gram for the riding would be an extension of the projects which he had already begun. They are: . ��� ��� Improvement of communications in all parts of Mackenzie so that constituents can have cheap and efficient electronic communication through television, radio and telephone, reasonable air fares, rapid and safe road transportation, and frequent and inexpensive ferry transportation. ��� The enactment of his Pollution control bill. ��� Enactment of. his Legal Aid bill so that people can seek . legal advice ��� without being financially ruined. ��� Improved trade union and workmen's Compensation board legislation. ��� Universal automobile accident compensation. ��� Chronic care. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Frank Scott of Powell River. . . Ad libs good At the April 17 Tidewater . Player's meeting it was decided to work on a Centennial theme for the July 1 float. Discussion on the current workshops found everyone agreeing they were beneficial. It is hoped more members will take advantage of what is being offered. At the workshop before the meeting, impromptu skits were again put on by members and the improvement in ideas and ad libbed dialogue was noticeable. The next meeting and workshop will be May 15 at 8 p.m. at Roberts Creek Hall. (Continued from Page 1) plete answer. The act covering ARDA was amended and broadened out to become a general rural development scheme in terms of all rural resources. /The provinces decided to make it a joint venture with joint federal-provincial participation with administration of projects in the hands of the provinces due to priorities which could be 'involved. Under the RDA plan the federal government provides $125,- 000,000 over a five year period with the provinces providing a similar amount. The amount involved in British Columbia would be $17,500,000 as its half- share of the five year total. Mr. Sauve advocated that a survey be taken the cost of which would ,be borne entirely by the federal government if provincial sanction could be obtained. Most of the . provinces have asked, for" this but not British Columbia but he would ���go over this with the minister in charge of RDA for the province. He added it was up to ~the provincial administration to make the decision. He advised the Sunshine Coast committee that they were wise in asking for a survey and if the province will accept the federal ' government would do it here. It would reveal most rural problems. It was pointed out to Mr. Sauve that this was quite possibly a low income area outside of pulp mill operations. There were the fishermen with off-season problems and woodsmen who face winter unemployment also the fire season which kept them out of the woods. . On the subject of water he could see no reason why it could not be included in a survey when it was pointed out that there is plenty of precipitation but not enough storage available to hold it back. Water supplies were now included in the new RDA on a wider basis than they were under ARDA, he said. In thanking Mr. Sauve for giving consideration to problems of the area,. Norman Watson, chairman of the Sunshine Coast committee was of the opinion secondary industries could be helped into the area as the result of a useful survey. He regarded Mr. Sauve's visit as a signal honor.

In the Burns Lake area, biologists from Victoria did the annual counts and the results show that the moose populations came through the hunting season in excellent shape; 20 percent calves were observed. The counts in the Burns Lake area were a little cold as the helicopter failed to start after landing for refueling and the crew had to spend the night in 10 below weather without sleeping bags.

Maurice Sauve, federal minister of forestry when he conferred with the Sunshine Coast Rural Development committee sponsored by Gibsons, Pender Harbor and Sechelt Chambers of Commerce and Redroofs Water board follows. It outlines its situation with government officials in Victoria in its unsuccessful effort to obtain federal assistance through ARDA. This submission will attempt to set out in rough chronological order the events that have led this committee to suspend all further action, temporarily, we hope. In June of last year, at a meeting held in Sechelt the original steering committee was formed with a view to exploring this areas possible future under ARDA or what other means came to hand. We had been told by Mr. J. Davis M.P. that we should apply for the free economic survey that was being offered by the federal government under ARDA. It was pointed out that this would have to be done through the courtesy and good offices of the provincial government, department of agriculture. * * * Accordingly a delegation attended the Hon. Frank Richter, minister of agriculture at Victoria. We were told by Mr. Richter and his deputy to put our aims in writing. Acording- READY MIX CONCRETE P & W DEVELOPMENT CO. Ph. 886-9857 ��� Gibsons ly this was done and as a result we were advised by a Mr. Muirhead, district agriculturist that the department was undertaking a complete province wide comprehensive survey to decide which areas would be classified. as rural development areas: He further advised us that there were no such thing as a free area survey. We were advised to get on with our own survey and when the provinces survey was completed we would be that much further ahead, and at that time could possibly be of assistance to a government survey group. During the course of two meetings held with Mr. Muirhead we found out that his department had written this area off as an agricultural area. This of course doesn't help our chances of gaining recognition under the ARDA program. * * * While we were progressing along the guidelines suggested by the department of agriculture and developing some idea of where we were headed we noticed in the press that con-" trary to the ministers word the province was going right ahead on a number of important projects under ARDA in the Oliver- Penticton area. Through notices and progress reports we also were made aware that the provinces were being extremely active in certain areas in B.C. under ARDA. To date out of 34 approved ARDA projects in B.C., 21 are in the Okanagan Penticton-Oliver-Osoyoos area, 8 more are in the Prince George and Peace River area. This seemed significant to us so we wrote Mr. Richter to see if he could please explain the apparent contradiction between what he assured us was government policy and what was actually taking place. The answer we grit was that we had already been told that his policy had not changed and that we had been clearly told by Mr. Muirhead that until the province wide survey had been completed there was nothing further to discuss.

His department was only waiting for the province,' to so designate any area that they might choose. * * * In February of 1966, a delegation of three men contacted Mr. DeBeck, province water controller. On suggestion of Mr. DeBeck, an appointment was arranged for and confirmation of time and place was received. The object was to discuss ways and means that this group should use to achieve their objective, an area wide water system. On their arrival they were told that Mr. DeBeck was out of town and they therefore had some discussions with, a Mr. L. Patrick, water department engineer and Mr. Sutherland, the departments legal adviser. The water committee was composed of Messers C. Gilker, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. W. Price and were accompanied by Mr. Dayton, consulting engineer and author of the Village of Gibsons 'Dayton Water Report'. In short order, they were told that, the water report was erroneous and would not be considered by the government. Mr. Patrick supported this statement by saying that Chapman creek was inadequate for any other area than what it was presently serving as he knew from first hand as he had flown over the area. It turns out that Mr. Sutherland held the opinion that the Sunshine Coast was not being considered as any thing else but as suitable for the old folks, and no thought should be given to ARDA for the area. * * * The committee then went to the department of forestry where they discovered the minister ^was out to lunch with Mr. DeBeck. The department claimed that it was out of their power to set aside the Chapman Greek watershed and suggested that they deal with M & B, who have timber rights in the area. This department was asked if any special government intervention or other considerations might be offered to the L & K Sawmills that could persuade the L & K people to move their mill to the Langdale area. This industry is looking for a suitable site to move to. The committee were told that the government did not consider this area as a secondary industrial area and would, offer no help. * * * Considering all things and the general attitude of the various departments along with the failure of the local Garbage Improvement group and the failure of the Fire Improvement group to accomplish anything at the provincial level, this committe feels that further efforts are complete waste of time and have now declared themselves in abeyance. 8 Coast .News, April 82, 1966.

Coast-Capilano Constituency Education is a' matter for the provinces. At least this was the decision reached. 100 years ago by our Fathers of Confederation. Quebec, in those days, ;was on the defensive. French speaking Canadians did not want to be forced to speak JEnglish. S,o they voted against Ottawa having the last word insofar as education is ' concerned. . ��� French speaking Canadians are still on the horns of a de- lemma. They would like to see Canada's second language given official status outside Quebec. But many of them are afraid of any measure which' would give the English speaking majority in parliament .authority over education.

Lately things have begun to change. Premier Lesage, for instance, has cashed in on un- versity grants. Like other provinces, Quebec has taken money from the federal government for the construction of vocational schools. Ottawa's standards have to be observed in this case. So a door, which was once firmly closed, is showing signs of opening up a bit: ������...���- 7 ���: r y :~;: ���������:���:���' ' Recent events axe even more encouraging. Lead, by three new M.P.'s Messrs. Marchand, ���Pelletier andN Trudeau, the pro- i vincial wing of the federal .Liberal party is becoming increasingly critical of separatist's thinking in Quebec. The nation, not the province, they say is responsible for employment. This means new jobs and the training ..for jobs. It involve^ more and. better education. So, they say education, like full employment becomes a matter of national as well as local concern. Personally, I believe that Ottawa should involve itself, increasingly, in education. Its outlays: on post-graduate work at the university level are .increasing. Research expenditures are being stepped up. Vocational training should also be expanded, not only for the retraining of adults, but also for the instruction of our young people as well.

They say that the French language may be official in Quebec; also that bilingualism should be practiced in the federal service in Ottawa;']. There the matter ends insofar as they are 'concerned. ; '.;'*' We, of course, must face facts. Thirty percent of Canada's population .speaks French. But 85 percent speaks French in Quebec. That province, to its eternal credit, has been scrupulous in providing separate schools for its small English speaking minority. This has been done even though only "about one out of every six people in that province can claim .English as their mother tongue. - : . 7 .',;���;. '7 Perhaps Ontario has the answer. There French language schools are being built in places where the French speaking population, is large enough to pay for their up-keep. Later, in high school, the students have to pass ..their exams in English. But- bilingualism is actively encouraged. No doubt we will have to do this sort of thing in other parts of Canada where a sizeable percentage of French speaking Canadians exists. This leaves out all ��� or near-;' ly all ���. of Western Canada. It. leaves out three out of our four Atlantic Provinces. But it does have a bearing on the pattern of education in eastern Ontario and northern New Brunswick. There the schools should be bilingual. Many of- them are already. , Esso.

Can labels to be revised ���y: Canada Department of Agriculture fruit and vegetable division has announced an amendment to labelling regulations that will give consumers a more precise indication, of the amount contained * in cans of processed fruits and vegetables. Although declarations of content by the industry have conformed to federal regulations, fruit and vegetable processors as the result of the amendment will show a lower amount of content on the labels on some sizes of cans. The change is aimed at meeting conditions arising from technological improvements in processing. High speed filling, particularly with liquids, has made it difficult to, fill containers completely and many products, canned at high temperatures, shrink after sealing and cooling. The new declarations will allow for these factors and will show the amount in containers, at time of purchase by cbnsum- ~ers. They will show minimum amounts, and in some cases actual content may exceed that shown on the label. Container sizes and the amount of product in each will remain unchanged, it is emphasized by the'Division. Content declarations will be changed as follows: 105 fluid 100 liiid iiconlaoa From To 105 fluid oz. 100 fluid oz. 23 fluid oz. 22 fluid oz. 20 fluid oz. 19 fluid oz., 15 fluid oz. 14 fluid oz. 6 fluid oz. 5V_ fluid oz. 5 fluid oz. 4y2 fluid bz. For vacuum pack corn, the changes are: 90 fluid oz. 75 fluid oz. 14 fluid oz. 12 fluid oz. 8 fluid oz. 7 fluid oz. Processors may use either the present or new content declarations during the balance of this year. All products labelled after. January 1,"1967, however, must conform to the new regulation.
